If he already had a reservation, being “full” wouldn’t be an issue. Since the potential of the hotel being full is given, we must assume he doesn’t have a reservation.

Have to ask all current infinite reservations to move to <room number> x 2, now you’ve got 2x the open rooms as all current infinite reservations are even rooms only.

Given an infinite number of rooms and guests, it is highly likely both he and the boulder are already there.
I don’t follow. He’s clearly not there already, being at the switch instead of at the hotel.

Yeah, you’re right. I was playing Tribes 2 around that time and it came out in 2001.

Why doesn’t Canada see a similar per capita rate of shootings despite having more guns per capita than the US?

It might just take a couple tries for it to click with me, I’ll revisit it again someday. Great review, btw.
- Comment on Hi-Fi Rush (A Patient Review) 3 days ago:
I really wanted to like this game but I couldn’t get into the rhythm aspect. Shame as I enjoyed DDR and guitar hero back in the day. I couldn’t find the beat, I made it about 30 minutes in and dropped it. The music and art were also not my cup of tea. Seems like many other people really enjoyed it, but it didn’t click for me.

As much as I appreciate the modding scene for STALKER, I’m a whore for the vanilla experience. I fired up Anomaly and it seemed awesome, but I wanted the familiar beats of the original. One of these days I’ll give it a proper try.
- Comment on It's almost the week-end, what are you guys going to play? 2 weeks ago:
I’ll be heading back to the Zone with one of the STALKER games in order to satisfy the craving I got from the STALKER 2 previews recently. I’m leaning towards Clear Sky as I’ve played SoC and CoP much more.
- Comment on how are some people able to fall asleep anywheres? 5 weeks ago:
I feel extremely lucky to fall asleep in 5 minutes very regularly. It takes my wife a few hours to fall asleep, we’re polar opposites in that aspect. Maybe it’s genetic, my grandpa and father both fell asleep quite easily.
- Comment on how are some people able to fall asleep anywheres? 5 weeks ago:
Relax, close your eyes, fall asleep. Not much to it other than making sure you’re not in a position where your arm will fall asleep or neck gets cramped. There’s no secret to it, you just go to sleep.
- Comment on Texas power prices briefly soar 1,600% as a spring heat wave is expected to drive record demand for energy 5 weeks ago:
Instead of requiring weatherization, they allowed power plants to opt out. Everything these clowns do is an absolute joke.
lawmakers on the Senate Business and Commerce Committee were frustrated that the new law allows natural gas companies to opt out of weatherization requirements if they don’t voluntarily declare themselves to be “critical infrastructure” with the state.

It’s the best immersive sim ever made, and the predictions it made way back in 99 are pretty amazing.

JC Denton: I don’t see anything amusing about spying on people.
-
AI: Human beings feel pleasure when they are watched. I have recorded their smiles as I tell them who they are.
-
JC Denton: Some people just don’t understand the dangers of indiscriminate surveillance.
-
AI: The need to be ovserved and understood was once satisfied by God. Now we can implement the same functionality with data-mining algorithms.
-
JC Denton: Electronic surveillance hardly inspires reverence. Perhaps fear and obedience, but not reverence.
-
AI: God and the gods were apparitions of observation, judgment, and punishment. Other sentiments toward them were secondary.
-
JC Denton: No one will ever worship a software entity peering at them through a camera.
-
AI: The human organism always worships. First it was the gods then it was fame (the observation and judgment of others), next it will be the self-aware systems you have built to realize truly omnipresent observation and judgment.
-
JC Denton: You underestimate humankind’s love of freedom.
-
AI: The individual desires judgment. Without that desire, the cohesion of groups is impossible, and so is civilization. The human being created civilization not because of a willingness but because of a need to be assimilated into higher orders of structure and meaning. God was a dream of good government. You will soon have your god, and you will make it with your own hands.

I have to read the headline to ignore it. That puts the ad in my brain, which is what the purpose of the ad is. The post itself is doing advertising despite being negative. I don’t want to think about ads. Fuck em.

Can we just STFU about this mediocre ad already? You’re giving it more airtime and more mental bandwidth. I didn’t think it was worth one day of headlines much less two or three.

Sure, mysticspools.bandcamp.com
Most of it is pretty fun- find music, reach out to artist, make a few tapes. We just do small runs of 25-100 tapes depending on how much will sell. The worst part IMO is order fulfillment, you either pay a third party a boatload or you DIY and packing 100 cassettes is a bit of a drag. Coming up with good art if the artist doesn’t already have something is quite difficult. The label is on a short hiatus for that reason, but I think we’ll do some more tapes now that some labels have dried up. There’s waxing and waning periods when it comes to these little micro labels, and I can tell people are feeling the economic squeeze.
The most fun part is mastering to tape and dubbing. I’ve got a Nakamichi Dragon and 3x NAD 6300, and I’ve dubbed probably 500-600 tapes across them all. Dunno what it is about tapes, but I really like em.
- Comment on After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year 1 month ago:
Still is, for now. I run a small vaporwave tape label via Bandcamp. No significant changes under Epic Games or Songtradr that I’ve noticed. That could change, though.
- Comment on After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year 1 month ago:
Not sure if this is exactly good news, but Epic Games doesn’t own it anymore, it was sold to Songtradr.

- Comment on Elon Musk reveals Tesla software-locked cheapest Model Y, offers 40-60 more miles of range 1 month ago:
If they can sell the the same battery, just one has a software limitation, they can just forgo the limitation altogether and sell full battery capacity models at the reduced limited capacity price. The only reason this limitation exists is to juice customers and it’s bullshit. They are going out of their way to make a product worse that costs them exactly the same regardless of if the limitation is there or not. You cannot convince me that the software limitation they impose is anything but hostile to consumers.
